When will the World Cup be lost to Sky / BT? 11:17 - Jun 1 with 1996 views | Matt_Netherlands | Or are they not able to have it for some contractual / patriotic reason? Just seems strange in these ones that the Beeb and ITV can hold onto all major tournaments! Same for things such as Wimbledon too I suppose. Not complaining mind you. Although I wish BBC had all of England’s games this summer. | | | | |

When will the World Cup be lost to Sky / BT? on 11:29 - Jun 1 with 1941 views | bluelou | The Ashes was on that list until 2005, so it can change but probably won’t for the WC. BT no longer HAVE to make some Champions league games available for free but they did choose to for this recent final. | |

Inevitably it will change, in time - as long as commercial markets are allowed to supercede any other interest. The World Cup will be on Sy/BT or wherever within 10 years, I reckon. | |
